Today’s news is mostly about the pressure and more of the same ongoing saga of the movement to the new technocratic government of Iraq. The prime minister Abadi has extreme pressure to show his list of candidates and submit them to parliament by tomorrow (Thursday) or it may even get violent in the green zone. Already the protestors have entered the green zone and now camp there. The security forces guarding the green zone have been given warning not to favor and join the protestors (which is very, very likely to happen).

We also know that part of Sadr’s demands upon the government (maybe not by Thursday but soon) is to bring to justice these high level corrupt officials (referring to Maliki and his stug goons). Also we know Sadr’s had come out earlier and stated he demanded that the CBI be cleaned up from all corruption too and the proxy governor also be replaced to a more technocratic position (and recommended Dr Shabibi return).

I believe this does not mean we should not all be very optimistic.

If Iraq could get this new technocratic govt installed and these pro-Iranian politicians (namely Maliki and his goons) out of the govt matters and prosecuted for their corruption and clean up the CBI then we have a wonderful chance of moving forward with the economy and affairs of Iraq. I believe everything else will just fall into place and the RV is just one of the resulting events that will occur as a result. This all could happen in 2-3 weeks as it is not complicated tasks and just takes will.

So I reaffirm the next opportunity for an RV window of mid March to mid April. We might go slightly beyond mid April but I do not (at this time) believe we will go much beyond this point.. This week’s progress is very pivotal in this effort and will determine a much later or on time my window of RV opportunity.

I have justified my timelines with you over these last couple months with solid articles and FACTS so don’t let anyone tell you Mnt Goat just predicts and throws out RV dates to you.

NO Hype, NO Rumors, just the FACTS.

Today’s News

Today is Wednesday March 30th 2016. Still no RV. Sorry Charlie!

So once again I have to clarify the madness of some of these so called intel “gurus” these past couple days. Some are saying the IQD is now international and we are just waiting for the new rates to appear. Really?

Have we not been waiting for the new rates on the so called “bank screens” to appear fro over 4 years now? So what is so new about this intel? Well they have to make up something to keep your callers pressing their “donate” button.

Didn’t these same people tell us just months ago it went international and we were just waiting for our turn to exchange? Really?

Are all these people living on the same planet earth? Who is feeding them this garbage intel? They have absolutely no concrete proof of what they claim. When asked they simply say it’s from a “secret” source and they can’t divulge their sources. Why?

BECAUSE THERE IS NO SOURCES…get it? Its all just lies. Of course later when they are caught they simply then say it was rumors to justify their stupidity.

So everyone relax! Iraq still has work to do prior to any RV of it’s currency.

I want to tell you all a secret “THE IQD IS NOT INTERNATIONAL”.

This is not why U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the head of the World Bank where in Iraq over the weekend. Instead they were there for a progress report/checkup from the GOI. Would like to give permission to RV? Yes- but not until all the mandates are completed and Iraq has the STABILITY and SECURITY it needs.

This silly, stupid, almost insane garbage intel must stop! It is way beyond rumor it is now reached the level of pure insanity!

I hope this clarified this last set of rumors and we can put them all to bed.

However…..having said all this I believe this does not mean we should not all be very optimistic. If Iraq could get this new technocratic govt installed and these pro-Iranian politicians (namely Maliki and his goons) out of the govt matters and prosecuted for their corruption, then we have a wonderful chance of moving forward with the economy and affairs of Iraq. I believe everything else will just fall into place and the RV is just one of the resulting events that will occur as a result.

Update: Iraqi Economy

I am presenting an article today telling us more insight to what the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the head of the World Bank and the head of the Islamic Development Bank in expressing. They are expressing solidarity with Iraqi leaders.

They also told us what they felt Iraq needs to do in order to put its economic house in order.

I quote from the article - "needs to put its economic house in order" by reforming state-owned enterprises, enacting more even distribution of oil revenues and addressing chronic shortages of electricity.

Did we not just witness over 12 state owned banks get privatized?

Did the World Bank say more distribution of oil revenues to the people?

So did we not also hear just recent pressure from the cleric Sadr on this subject matter too as part of the needed reforms?

Did the World Bank say they must address the shortages of electricity?

So did we not just recently read two articles about General Electric and Seimans (Geman Firm) signing contracts Iraq to bring the electric grid back up 24/7 and convert many of the plants to using gas?

GET HOUSE IN ORDER, WORLD BANK TELLS IRAQ

ONE OF THE LARGEST ECONOMIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST UNDER TWIN THREATS FROM OIL AND TERRORISM.

BAGHDAD, March 28 (UPI) -- Faced with threats from terrorism and low oil prices, the world community is ready to help, but Iraqis make take initiatives, the U.N. secretary-general said.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon joined the heads of the World Bank and the Islamic Development Bank in expressing solidarity with Iraqi leaders struggling to ensure financial and national stability. From Baghdad, the secretary-general said he was calling on regional and international partners to help support a threatened Iraq, though the Iraqis themselves needed to take responsibility to resolve crises.

"These reforms must include measures to empower women and young people, and to bring [about] greater social cohesion," Ban said in a statement.

Iraq's $200 billion economy is one of the largest in the Middle East, though several decades of conflict have taken on a toll on state infrastructure, while the recent collapse in crude oil prices has strained its financial coffers.

The International Monetary Fund more recently warned Iraq is facing twin economic shocks in the form of the national security threat posed by the Islamic State terrorist group and the steep decline in crude oil prices.

Conflict, the IMF warned, was hurting Iraq's non-oil economy because of trade disruptions, a loss of investor confidence and the destruction of infrastructure.

The World Bank, meanwhile, said Iraq "needs to put its economic house in order" by reforming state-owned enterprises, enacting more even distribution of oil revenues and addressing chronic shortages of electricity.

"Through demonstrating a commitment to such real changes, we hope Iraq can find the support it seeks to relieve its immense fiscal pressures in the light of significantly reduced oil prices," World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said.

Update: 45 Day Deadline for Technocratic Gov’t

Early last week, the cleric sent Abadi a list of 90 names of Iraqi professors, experts and economists whom he described as "independent and professional volunteers" who would "serve Iraq for free" in the new administration.

Sadr's step was seen by his Shia rivals and partners as a coup against Iraq's power-sharing quota system, and increased fears of fighting between Sadrists and Iraqi security forces.Details of their discussion were not released but Sadr has vowed to continue the sit-in until politicians tackle corruption and create a new unaffiliated "technocratic" government. He had originally given Abadi until Tuesday to meet these demands but has agreed to hold off until the final list is released on Thursday 3/31.

Let’s see what happens tomorrow, Thursday.
